AGEING IN HIGH OFFICE

So refreshing for a change to listen to a top civil servant speak with a sense of humour, one who is not above making deprecating jokes about himself. Not many presidents or prime ministers would do that.

After weeks of being bombarded with pre-election campaign speeches here in Malaysia, here's one speech you wouldn't mind listening to for some laughs - all at President Obama's expense. He was speaking at the recent White House Correspondents Association's annual dinner.

Wonder how our PM would look with his wife's hairdo.

In his speech Obama talks about the ageing process, and how he needs to improve his image in his second term of office as president of the USA - all tongue in cheek, of course.

Obama has certainly aged during his first term of office.
